US Combat Shotguns - My Display

[cowtownscout]

I put together a display for the NRA Collectors Contest hosted by the Dallas Arms Collectors in November of this year. If you want to see my display I posted info and photos over on the M14 forum and here is a link to it https://m14forum.com/shotguns/474308...y-display.html

Since the photos were inserted into the post directly you have to be signed in to see them. If your not already a member it's easy to sign up.

Thanks for posting your pictures!
I enjoyed the way you covered the
Time periods with you shotguns, bayonets,
Pouches etc. Not many times are we able to view
Such a well displayed collection. I understand
Why you were selected for the award.
